The unappreciated
unremembered
stench of honesty
seeped from his pen.

Sick civilisation

praises every talent

Do they not know

that a man's soul
is in his beard -
his visiopilation
- and that those who shave
are in sore

that a woman's soul
is in her armpit -
her axillipilation
- and that those who shave
are in sore
need of salvation ?
